Yes I am actually updating! I'm sorry I don't have a specific time when I do but I'm always so busy and I try to update when I can. Thank you to those of you who actually review. I don't have many reviews but I have a ton of people favoring me. It would not be fair to make people who review wait so I have decided to start updating more often. Remember that reviews draw more readers. More readers review and more reviews draw even more readers! I also did not get any ideas on my story from my reviewers so I decided to go with my original idea.
JasminePOV
Esme was right. She did have a big family! They all seemed so nice. I suddenly didn't feel comfortable around them anymore; I felt like I was intruding. Edward looked at me with a reassuring smile though I did not know why. I was waiting for the rest of their family to show up. Carlisle came first and then the rest came shortly after. When they did they weren't hostile like all of the other vampires I've been around. They came in and actually shook my hand like regular humans. I decided that everyone sitting down was my cue.
"Hello everyone, my name is Jasmine. I have explained my story to Esme a little. I have been in search of other vampires like me."
"How did you know about us?" The tall blonde haired boy said.
"Like I told Esme, I did the math. There weren't as many animals in the area like there should be. The disposal of the animals is in a way only vampires are capable of." I said.
"Where did you come from Jasmine?" The one I assumed to be Carlisle said.
"I didn't remember at first when I came into this life but thanks to my gift I am able to remember. I was born in Virginia in 1985. I had a younger brother and an older sister. I remember that we went on a trip to Alaska for a family vacation. It was 2004 when I had been turned. Our car had gotten stuck because of the snow and I decided to take a walk in the woods. Not a good idea, I know. Afterwards, I had gotten lost. I remember that a man I recall as being the most handsome person I had ever seen found me. He was not a vampire though. He asked me if I was lost. I told him yes. He asked if I came with a family. I said yes again. He was trying to help me back when I was attacked by a red eyed vampire. He tried to save me. For what reason? You tell me. The vampire that had started feeding on me turned to him. I took that as my opportunity to move. I felt the worst pain shortly after. My family found me. They knew something was wrong and tried to take me to a hospital. After the first day, I eventually stopped screaming. I mean there was no point. I guess they thought I died…. I woke up on while the sun was out. My skin started sparkling like diamonds." I giggled in reminiscence. "But I knew that I was not supposed to sparkle. So instead of taking the chance that someone might see me, I dug through snow to keep under cover. Every now and then I would peek up to see the time of day. At night I would just run instead of digging like a mole. Eventually, I made it to Canada and since then I have been coming out at night only to keep my cover." I took an unnecessary breath. The one named Bella came over and hugged me.
"I can only imagine what you went through." Esme said.
"You say that you have a gift?" Edward inquired.
"Yes, I think I do. I think I can get people to recall lost memories." The short black-haired girl came over to me.
"Can you try on me?" She asked. It sounded more like a plea than a question.
"I've never really had any practice with this." I admitted.
"It's okay." She reassured me. I put my hands on both sides of her face and concentrated. She gasped. So I pulled my hands away.
"Bella." Alice asked.
"Yeah?" She said.
"Remember when you said that it was James who turned me?" Everyone in the room's jaw dropped. "Can you try again?" She asked me. Edward spoke up for me.
"Alice, the process takes a lot of energy from Jasmine. You may have to wait until later." He said calmly. She nodded and went back her place at the tall blonde man's side; Jasper.
"Jasmine, if your gift can get people to recall, I think you may even be able to make them forget." Carlisle said. I never tried it. He may be right.
"You may be right." I said to him.
I looked back over at Alice who had one look in her eyes- hope.
I guessed that it would be an interesting twist in the story. Remember, any ideas are gladly accepted. REVIEW PLEASE!
